ClassNotFoundException: edu.stanford.nlp.ie.NERFeatureFactory

I am not sure if something similar has been reported, but I am getting the following error with the latest version of the gem 0.5.1, when using the models and jars from stanford-core-nlp-full.zip.

The bin folder contains the following folders/files: nnotationBridge.java, joda-time.jar, stanford-segmenter.jar jollyday.jar, sutime, bridge.jar, regexner, taggers, classifiers, stanford-core-nlp-full.zip, truecase, dcoref, stanford-core-nlp.jar, xom.jar, gender, stanford-corenlp.jar, grammar, stanford-parser.jar

Are there any other jars/files I may be missing? Thanks!

Edit: I also found the NERFeatureFactory class in the stanford-core-nlp.jar file, so the class file is not missing.
